One listen.

So this has some similarity to the other introductory town themes the Pokémon games uses, and either that’s a limitation on my part, or their composers have the feel and flow’s effectiveness down to a T. Anyway, I think I did pretty well with this one. A few places where I had to rebalance, so to speak, but overall I think I did well here.

Go Ichinose’s (一之瀬剛) “Asperita City” (“ヒオウギシティ”) is from Nintendo DS Pokémon Black2 – White2 Super Music Complete, the soundtrack for Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.

I hope you enjoy.

A low stirring, signaling the beginning. Signalling the start. It’s the start of something grand, and it always starts small, but here it’s seemingly certain of its first steps. Percussion comes in, slow and steady, and carries a metropolitan sheen. It carries the familiarity and the sleekness; the joy of moving about an urbanised area.

Everything is easy; everything is excited and calm, but there’s mystery and adventure that lies beyond the familiar, and it’s within that that exists change. It’s within that that lies the journey, but home will always be home, no matter how much you change.

Structures tall enough, but not so much that scenic views are unavailable, and the sounds stroll on through the streets, carrying their light blissfulness with every step until they fade out and the song ends.
